What is some of your Pet Peeve's

[tradosaurus]

Use of the word "super" in front of words. I believe this started about 7 years ago.

... or people who can't seem to find the accelerator, in general. Folks that almost idle up to speed from a stoplight or stop sign. Use the pedal on the right, folks.

Probably because they (wrongfully) believe that they save gas that way.

Getting into top gear quickly does save gas, though.

One of my pet peeves is when people still insist on giving me turn-by-turn directions, as if we're living in the 18th century, rather than just the effing coordinates to trick out a glitch in GPS mapping. I don't care that much about where anyone lives, to go back to that.

Dude, it's 2023. It's time to embrace the 1990's technology.

I also lived on a road for which GPS often gave bad directions. I learned 20 years ago how to give the address in a format that would "fool" any GPS toward nailing it right.

I once contacted Google to correct an address & location on their map. It took several months but it got corrected.

Same with the overused word ‘literally’.
Add the to me irritating response ‘No problem’ instead of ’your welcome’. Hey buddy it’s your job to serve or help me, so no it shouldn’t be a problem for you. I was being a well raised polite customer.

My tractor won't start. Help!

Describe the symptoms.

It doesn't start!

What does it do when it doesn't start?

It just won't start!

Ten years ago I retired from repair business:
A few from customers after I ask what's wrong:
"It won't hit a lick"
"Won't do a Suzie"
"The doo-whop done whopped"
"Why ain't it workin?'"
My favorite is: "It ain't got no do right"
One guy said "it was working until the belt went" (he stuck his tongue out at me).

This reminds me of another, smaller, peeve. Odd spelling of names.

La-a (Ladasha)
Dafydd (David)
Jaxon (Jackson)
XÆA-Xii (Elon's Child, not sure how to pronounce it)
Airwrecka (Erica)
Phalicia (Felicia)

... just to name a few.

 

[kenmbz]

Dafydd is Welsh and I know a few.
The other ones you have are pretty funny

Unless you drive a Tesla. My Y will blow by most cars out of the road when I need to get around someone.

No doubt. But I used "with a vengeance". Hard to impart shock and awe when silently gliding by.

As teens, we're taught to drive defensively. Then we get into college athletics and learn the best defense is a good offense. Drive offensively, folks!
